Silver Company History
Durango Silver Company has been designing jewelry since 1972.
We have developed many jewelry lines for ourselves, special interest
groups and companies, department stores, catalog and mail order
companies and have even worked in conjunction with very large production
companies to incorporate our designs on their products. We are able
to develop any size of jewelry manufacturing project and to meet
any price range desired by our clients.
Example: We were asked to develop a line of jewelry representing
the Native American Indian. We designed and produced many beautiful
sculptures of famous American Indian Characters accompanied with
a short story for each. We developed the production company to produce
the sculptures in sterling silver and created the templates to be
used to engrave the short stories on sterling silver lighter cases.
We then produced and shipped 23,000 pieces to Zippo Lighter Co of
Tokyo per month for an eighteen month run.
Today, we enjoy designing and creating one of a kind pieces
of western silver for our gallery as well as others that appreciate
our work. We (John & Dillon Hartman) create most of our jewelry
from sheet, wire and rough stone, in the old fashioned way. We cut
almost all of the stones in our jewelry and we do not use laser
welders or many other forms of modern machinery to make our jewelry.
We retail as well as wholesale our jewelry and always welcome others
ideas for new projects.
It is standard procedure (if a customer must have Native Made
Jewelry) for us to design a specific style of bracelet, ring, necklace,
buckle and so on - then sub the design out to particular Navajo
Silversmiths to be produced. We are located in the jewelry capitol
of Native American jewelry makers and culture.
We use Sterling Silver, Agate, Faustite, Dinosaur Bone, Turquoise,
Variscite, Sugilite, Lapis, Opal, Coral and a wide range of gemstones
to create some of the finest jewelry being produced in the Southwestern
United States.
We are rockhounds and collectors of fine gems and minerals,
specializing in Turquoise.
